Package: apt Version: 0.1.9
(JCommons) is there any easy way for removing packages (like there is for installing them)? (ie. for package being uninstalled: find all packages it depends on & if nothing else depends on them, remove them <njs> JCommons: umm, no, not really <njs> JCommons: though you could, say, go through and dpkg -r all of your non-end-user packages (the ones that you only have installed to meet dependencies) <njs> JCommons: doing this would fail, but it would mark them for removal <njs> JCommons: then you could do dpkg -r --pending after every time you removed an end-user package, and anything that no long had packages depending on it would be removed <njs> JCommons: that's one of the uglier hacks I've ever seen though :-) -> JCommons ponders: apt-deinstall -- System Information Debian Release: 2.1 Kernel Version: Linux valinor 2.2.4-ac1 #6 SMP Sat Mar 27 14:45:50 PST 1999 i686 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries ii libstdc++2.9 2.91.60-5 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version) --- Begin /etc/apt/sources.list (modified conffile) deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US deb http://www.debian.org/~jim/debian-gtk-gnome/gnome-stage-slink unstable main --- End /etc/apt/sources.list
